Planning to use your Telus eSIM for international travel? Here’s a breakdown of how you can use your Telus eSIM outside of Canada, along with the data roaming plans Telus offers.
We’ll also look at Holafly as a travel eSIM alternative that provides unlimited data.

Does Telus sell travel eSIMs for outside of Canada?
No, there is no dedicated Telus travel eSIM for use in countries outside of Canada. To use your Telus eSIM for international travel, you need to use data roaming with your regular plan instead.
Before using an eSIM for your trip, make sure your phone is eSIM compatible and unlocked, as some carrier-locked devices may not support eSIMs from other providers.
Travel abroad using Telus roaming for international travel
To stay connected with your Telus eSIM while travelling abroad, you can choose from three Telus international roaming plans:
Telus roaming plan | Price* | Description |
---|---|---|
Easy Roam | $14 CAD in the US, $16 elsewhere | A daily roaming plan that lets you use your existing monthly data, talk, and text allowances in over 200 destinations |
Easy Roam Travel Pass | $40–$70 for 7–14 days | A short-term roaming package for select regions like the US, Europe, Asia, Mexico, and the Caribbean, giving you unlimited talk, text, and access to your plan’s data |
Pay-per-use | $5–10 per MB of data, $0.75 per SMS, $1.60–7 per voice minute** | A flexible option where you’re charged per megabyte, text, or voice minute, best for very light or occasional use abroad |
Note: *Prices exclude taxes. **Pay-per-use rates vary by destination zone.
Easy Roam also includes calls to phone numbers in Canada and within your destination, as well as incoming and outgoing texts to any phone number. You can only buy the data roaming plans above directly from Telus.
The plan you choose depends on your destination, the duration of your trip, and how much data you need. Check out our data usage calculator for an estimate.
While Telus roaming works well for short trips, the costs can add up quickly on longer journeys. That’s why many travelers look at travel eSIM alternatives like Holafly, which offers unlimited data at a flat rate.
